PlayDoh Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 So I was east of Cow town, and got a couple dozen good sized jack/pike, but no Walleye. I got 3 Pike on my 8 wt rod, and it was very cool. Actually made landing a pike interesting, and challenging...... kinda. lol. Heres my first on my 3rd cast Next cast I got all 3 close to the boat, with soft takes. 2 of them swam right up to the boat before realizing they were hooked. Then all hell broke loose. I tried a bunch of retrieves and the water was gin clear so I got to tweak my retrieves and see the effect. I only got the pike on a slow retrieve with a couple quick jerks then a pause. The fishing was pretty slow, but the Jack were hungry so if you put it close to them, they'd probably take almost anything. There were no nice weed-beds yet, so I couldn't toss the frogger or Mouse flies in there yet. My biggest was 28" but he flopped before I got his pic on the ruler, but I did get one of his Gullet. I half expected to see Elvis in there he was so fat. Heres another Fat Bastich. Heres some more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
